Summarize a list of work for school

Summarize a list of work for school

[Sébastien Gendre]

Hello,

I want to use Org-mode to track the works I have to do for school.

For each course, I have a one file in which I write everything about the
course. Including the work I have to do, with it's deadline and
other information.

And I need a view which summarize all the works to do and display
information with these columns:

- Name of the work
- Percentage done
- Deadline date and time
- Importance

I was thinking of using a custom agenda view, but by default the columns
are fixed. And activating the column view in agenda can cause issues, if
I read correctly the manual.

Do you have any suggestion ?


Best regards

Hello,

I am also thinking about a good org-agenda configuration.
Your usecase sounds good.

What do you mean about the fixed columns and about what issues are you thinking?

When you display a list of tasks in Org-agenda, you have these columns:

- Category
- Status
- Task title
- Tags

But what I need in my list of work for school is:
- Task title
- Importance
- Deadline date and time
- Name of the work

Check out 11.8 Using Column View in the Agenda section of Org manual.
